Abstract

Discharge planning is essential for providing special education or training to patients and their families when a patient is admitted to the hospital and prepares for discharge. It is a crucial part of nursing care that requires collaboration across multiple disciplines. The goal of discharge planning is to facilitate communication between nurses and patients, enabling the provision of procedures for managing and preventing diseases at home. Typhoid fever, an endemic infectious disease, necessitates continued care and treatment. The ability of nurses to effectively implement discharge planning significantly enhances families' understanding and capacity to care for patients with typhoid fever. This study analyzes the implementation of discharge planning for patients with typhoid fever at Treatment Room D of Kaliwates General Hospital in Jember. This case report examines the discharge planning process for these patients. To assess changes in understanding disease prevention, the study measured patients' knowledge before and after implementing discharge planning using a questionnaire on understanding typhoid disease. The results indicate that implementing discharge planning effectively improves patients' understanding of disease prevention related to typhoid fever. Before discharge planning was instituted, patients scored an average of 50% on the pretest regarding their knowledge. After the discharge planning was carried out, the posttest score increased to 90%. This demonstrates that providing discharge planning to families and patients significantly enhances their knowledge about typhoid fever.

Abstract

Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is a significant health problem with increasing prevalence, characterized by a progressive decline in kidney function resulting in fluid accumulation in the body. One common clinical manifestation is edema in the lower extremities. Ankle pump exercises and foot massage are non-pharmacological interventions that can help reduce edema by improving venous and lymphatic circulation. This study aims to analyze the implementation of nursing care in relation to the effect of ankle pump exercise and foot massage on reducing leg edema in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). This study used a case study design with a nursing care approach in a CKD patient with edema in the Anturium Ward of Dr. Soebandi Regional General Hospital, Jember. Ankle pump exercises were performed for 10 minutes, followed by a 15-minute foot massage, which was repeated for three consecutive days of treatment. The degree of edema was evaluated using the edema pitting scale before and after the intervention. The results showed a decrease in edema from +2 to +1 (1 mm in the left leg) and from +1 to 0 (2 mm in the right leg). There was also a decrease in ankle circumference of 20 cm and instep of 25.5 cm on the right leg, and 19 cm at the ankle and 23.7 cm at the left leg. Furthermore, muscle strength increased from 2 cm to 5 cm in the left leg and from 1 cm to 4 cm in the right leg. Ankle pump exercises and foot massage effectively reduce edema in CKD patients. This therapy can be used as an independent nursing intervention to enhance the quality of life for patients with CKD who experience edema.

Abstract

Anxiety during pregnancy is often intensified by the anticipation of labor and delivery, which can be overwhelming due to a lack of prior experience. The consequences of untreated maternal anxiety extend beyond the mother, potentially affecting fetal growth and long-term child development. This study aims to determine the effect of classical Lullaby music therapy on anxiety in primigravida pregnant women facing childbirth. The research design employed a quasi-experimental pretest-posttest control group design. The total sample in the experimental group was n = 30, and in the control group, n = 30, using a purposive sampling technique. The population in this study consisted of all primigravida pregnant women who visited the antenatal care clinic at the Sananwetan Health Center in March and April 2025. Based on the T-test, the mean data on the pretest is 39.40, and the posttest is 32.43. There is a decrease in the score of 6.967. The significance value (Sig. 2-tailed) is 0.000, which is <0.05, so it can be concluded that there is a significant influence. The test results show that H0 is rejected and H1 is accepted, which means that classical lullaby music therapy is more effective in reducing anxiety levels in primigravida mothers compared to the control group. Therefore, it can be concluded that classical lullaby music has a positive effect on primigravida mothers in facing childbirth. This type of music can be used as a therapeutic option for pregnant women experiencing anxiety.

Abstract

Pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) imposes not only physical but also substantial psychological burdens, particularly stress, which may compromise treatment adherence and outcomes. While the Health Belief Model (HBM) has been widely applied to predict TB treatment behaviors, its utility in explaining how sociodemographic factors shape stress levels remains underexplored. This cross-sectional study aimed to examine the association between sociodemographic characteristics and stress among 150 pulmonary TB patients in Jombang Regency, Indonesia, using the HBM as a theoretical lens. Stress was assessed using the Depression Anxiety Stress Scale–42 (DASS-42), with 62.7% of participants reporting moderate to severe stress. Chi-square and binary logistic regression analyses revealed that education (p = 0.012; OR = 1.89, 95% CI: 1.10–3.25), marital status (p = 0.021; OR = 1.72, 95% CI: 1.05–2.80), and occupation (p = 0.008; OR = 2.45, 95% CI: 1.30–4.60) were significantly associated with stress levels, whereas age and gender were not (p > 0.05). Occupation emerged as the strongest predictor, with unemployed or informally employed patients more than twice as likely to experience high stress. These findings underscore the role of perceived barriers and self-efficacy—core HBM constructs shaped by sociodemographic context—in influencing psychological distress. Integrating tailored psychosocial support into TB care is essential to mitigate stress and enhance treatment success.

Abstract

Health literacy is crucial in palliative care, where patients often face complex medical conditions and must make end-of-life decisions. This literature review aims to evaluate the effectiveness of health literacy interventions in improving patient outcomes in palliative care settings. The review synthesized evidence from high-quality studies, including randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and quasi-experimental designs, with a focus on various intervention strategies such as educational programs, multimedia tools, and health coaching. The review utilized the PRISMA framework for study selection and the JBI critical appraisal checklist for assessing study quality. It included studies from databases such as Scopus, PubMed, and Google Scholar, focusing on publications from 2016 to 2025. The studies consistently showed that these interventions enhance patient understanding, engagement in treatment decisions, and overall quality of life. However, challenges remain in identifying the most effective interventions due to variations in study designs and outcome measures. This review highlights the significance of health literacy interventions in palliative care, advocating for additional research that focuses on LHL-specific strategies and standardized outcome measures to improve patient care.

Abstract

The use of pesticides in agriculture increases crop yields, but poses health risks to farmers, especially without PPE. Global data shows a high rate of pesticide poisoning, especially in developing countries. In Indonesia, farmers' awareness and compliance with the use of PPE are still low due to factors related to education, training, and risk perception. This study aims to analyze the level of awareness among farmers regarding the use of PPE and the factors that influence their occupational safety practices when using pesticides. This study employed a literature review method, searching articles from three electronic databases: PubMed, ScienceDirect, and SpringerLink. The selection of articles was carried out in stages based on the keywords used "farmers" OR "agricultural workers" AND "awareness" OR "knowledge" OR "perception" AND "personal protective equipment" OR "PPE" AND "use" OR "utilization" OR "practice" AND "analysis" OR "study" OR "assessment", until 12 primary articles were analyzed in depth. The results show that the use of personal protective equipment (PPE) remains relatively low and inconsistent, despite most individuals having received training and sufficient knowledge. There is a gap between knowledge and practice of PPE use among tobacco farmers, which is influenced by various social and structural factors. Educational interventions based on behavioral models, cross-sectoral involvement, and the provision of adequate PPE are essential to improve farmers' work safety sustainably.

Abstract

Human resources (HR) is a key factor in organizational success, including that of private hospitals. Kasih Ibu General Hospital in Denpasar faces high healthcare worker turnover and low BOR (68%), necessitating effective HR management. Factors such as leadership style, compensation, work motivation, job satisfaction, work culture, and work environment are suspected to influence employee performance and loyalty. This study aims to analyze Factors Influencing Employee Performance and Loyalty at Kasih Hospital, Denpasar. This study used a correlational approach with a cross-sectional design. The population included 125 employees, all of whom were sampled. Data were collected through a valid and reliable five-point Likert scale questionnaire. The independent variables included compensation, work motivation, leadership style, job satisfaction, and work culture. The moderating variable was the work environment, and the dependent variables were employee performance and healthcare worker loyalty. The analysis was conducted using multiple linear regression and Moderated Regression Analysis (MRA) using SPSS. Compensation, work motivation, leadership style, job satisfaction, and work culture significantly influenced performance. Loyalty, compensation, leadership style, and work culture were found to be significant, while work motivation and job satisfaction were not. The work environment strengthens the relationship between job satisfaction and loyalty, but not the relationship between leadership style and performance. The most significant factor influencing performance is leadership style, while work culture is the primary factor affecting loyalty. Leadership, compensation, work motivation, job satisfaction, and work culture all play a role in enhancing employee performance. Additionally, healthcare worker loyalty is influenced by compensation, leadership, and work culture.

Abstract

Patient safety is a priority for healthcare services because it can lead to serious public health issues. Incident reporting is crucial for enhancing patient safety. This study aims to analyze the determinants of patient safety incident reporting compliance using the Theory of Planned Behavior. This study employed a cross-sectional design, with the population consisting of medical and nursing staff, involving 116 participants selected using a simple random sampling technique. The analysis in this study used Logistic regression analysis. The study found that health professionals reported high levels of bullying (56.9%), poor patient safety culture (75.0%), low protection motivation (53.4%), and non-compliance in reporting patient safety incidents (55.2%). Logistic regression analysis, which had the potential to comply with incident reporting, showed low bullying (aOR: 1.8; 95% CI: 0.69-4.81), good patient safety culture (aOR: 2.9; 95% CI: 0.93-9.25), and high protection motivation (aOR: 1.91; 95% CI: 0.86-4.25). The importance of analyzing the factors that influence compliance in reporting patient safety incidents is based on the theory of planned behavior, which suggests that low workplace bullying, a good patient safety culture, and high protection motivation are the primary determinants of compliance in reporting patient safety incidents.

Abstract

Acute pain is a common problem experienced by patients after cesarean section, especially in cases with transverse fetal position that often require complex surgery. Effective and safe pain management is critical to improve the comfort and recovery of mothers. Nonpharmacological approaches such as Swedish massage are still underexplored in postpartum pain management but offer holistic therapeutic benefits. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of Swedish massage in reducing acute pain after cesarean section with transverse indication. A case study design was employed, involving a single participant. Swedish massage was administered for 15 minutes per session using five techniques (effleurage, petrissage, friction, tapotement, vibration). Pain intensity was measured using the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS). Results showed a decrease in pain from NRS 6 to NRS 3 after three sessions, indicating a 50% reduction in pain. Swedish massage has been shown to have positive effects by promoting relaxation and stimulating the release of endorphins, thereby reducing pain perception. These findings suggest that Swedish massage can be considered a safe, cost-effective, and nonpharmacological nursing intervention for post-cesarean section patients. Further research with a larger sample size is recommended to confirm its effectiveness and strengthen generalizability.

Abstract

The working conditions of healthcare workers in Indonesia, especially in state hospitals, remain unsatisfactory. One factor that influences this is the low reward system in state hospitals compared to private hospitals. The purpose of this research is to determine the effect of the reward system (incentives, promotions, and career development) on improving the performance of nurses. The design of this research is quantitative, employing a cross-sectional approach, with the population in this study comprising all 150 nurses at UPTD RSUD Bobong. The sample consisted of a portion of the population that met the inclusion criteria, comprising 112 people selected using a simple random sampling technique. The collected data were analyzed using Spearman's rho statistical test and ordinal logistic regression analysis with an α error rate of 0.05. The results of the analysis using the ordinal regression test yielded a significant result. (2-tailed) values ​​for the incentive factor (p-value = 0.012 < 0.05), promotion factor (p-value = 0.023 < 0.05) and career development factor (p-value = 0.019 < 0.05). The research shows that incentive, promotion, and career resulted in harm er development factors in implementing the reward system influence the performance of nurses at Bobong Hospital, Taliabu Island Regency. The incentives factor is the most dominant in the reward system, which influences nurse performance.
